(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Kyung-yoon = Ryu Hyun-jin (33, Toronto Blue Jays), who showed a bit of anxiety in the final appearance of the demonstration game, did not lose a positive mind, saying, “The preparation process was better than last year.

Ryu Hyun-jin started a demonstration game with the Philadelphia Phillies of the American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) held at Dunedin TD Ball Park in Florida, USA on the 27th (Korean time), and started with 4 innings, 8 hits (1 home run), 1 walk, and a ball that fits the body. He scored 1, 5 strikeouts, and 3 runs (three runs).

He allowed on-base every inning, and in the fifth inning, he dedicated a solo home run to the opposing team’s main hitter Bryce Harper.

Ryu Hyun-jin was judged three times that day, and then appeared again four times. In this year’s MLB demonstration game, the pitcher is able to make two appearances.

The following is one question and one answer with Ryu Hyun-jin, who attended the video interview after the start.

– What is the progress of Spring Camp training?

▲ It went smoothly. Slowly increased the number of pitches. Today, as planned, he recorded the number of pitches.

– It was the last start of the demonstration game.

▲ I wanted to do what I could, but the balance was shaken and there were many balls. After throwing 89 balls, he threw 10 more balls from the bullpen. Focused on balance correction.

– If you compare your current physical condition with your physical condition before the opening last year.

▲ (This year) I had enough time to systematically build my body. Last year, I had to suddenly increase the number of pitches.

– What do you think has improved in terms of pitch and balance?

▲ The preparation process was better than last year. My physical condition and ball movement are better now than last year.

– In the last game of spring camp, there are many pitchers who reduce the number of pitches (to manage physical strength), but the reason why they filled 100 pitches to the bullpen today

▲ It is mentally comfortable to throw 90-100 balls before the start of the regular season. That way, you will have a body that can throw that much ball even in the regular season.

– I started again after being grated.

▲ (The opportunity to play twice) seems to be good for starting pitchers during the demonstration game. The demonstration game is a stage where you prepare for the regular season while raising your body condition. In the past, when the number of pitches in an inning increased, you couldn’t do what you wanted and you had to finish the game. The changed rules are helpful for starting pitchers.

– The opening game will be held at Yankee Stadium in New York. How do you feel about starting the start before the opening?

▲ The opening game is always pleasant wherever you go. exciting. If you are a player, everyone will feel the same. All players, regardless of location, will always be happy to face the opening game.

– There are many changes in the team selection. What kind of pitchers do you think Robbie Ray and Stephen Mats are?

▲ Everyone is working hard. I am preparing well. Both players are left-handed like me, but they throw a strong ball.

– What part of the bullpen did you correct?

▲ There was a balance problem in the pitching motion. It felt a little quick, so I calmly threw 10 balls to correct that part.

– Philadelphia had major hitters. We had a difficult game, but did it help you prepare for the season?

▲ In the demonstration game, I focus only on my physical condition and throw the ball. It helped a lot. In the regular season, the ball mix will change a lot.

– I saw a lot of smiles during the game.

▲ I didn’t talk much. Cavern Vizio laughed at joy for making two important out counts (by Lake Defense).
